Game Preview

Two of the hottest starting pitchers in the majors face off Friday night when the Boston Red Sox host the Chicago Cubs to begin a three-game series.

Boston’s Kutter Crawford (1-0, 0.66 ERA) carries the top qualifying ERA in all of baseball into the weekend-opening start against Chicago rookie left-hander Shota Imanaga (3-0, 0.84).

Crawford is coming off his first win and second quality start of the season on Saturday at Pittsburgh, where he worked around seven hits and three walks to allow just one run over six innings.
